"...story
songs that brim with spunk wit and passion..if you want to
know what happened to that kid born at Woodstock, Lauren Braddock
is your answer"
-Eliot Wilder, Amplifier Magazine
|
"...intelligent
and creative songwriting style is no surprise considering her
background.... voice reminded me of Melanie ("Brand New
Key"). She floats that voice, sounding almost childlike...then
she turns right around and makes it teasing and sexually aggressive.
I think we'll be hearing a lot more from Braddock...strong debut
and really kind of fun.

"Geez, it seems everybody
cool is on this new Lauren Braddock album. Songwriting honcho
Don Henry produced the thing, and guests include Matraca Berg,
Will Kimbrough, Bill Lloyd, Blake Shelton, Dan Dugmore, Jellyroll
Johnson and a slew of others (including legendary songsmith
Bobby Braddock who happens to be Lauren's daddy)."

"If you like
artists like Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith or Lucinda Williams
then this CD should be your cup of tea. I hope many people will
discover Lauren and her great music, I can´t wait for
the next record!"

"Lauren Braddock's music defies
categories except for that catch all category called quality.
Her songs, her voice and Don Henry's production have those rare
qualities of immediacy and accessibility that can only be achieved
when the people making the music are exuding and communicating
a sense of joy with what they are doing. It is impossible to
listen to this music without catching that sense of joy."
- Michael Kosser, music journalist |
"A fave
CD for driving."
- Persygrrrl, "Looking In The Shadows" radio show |
"A flower child is alive and
well in Nashville..."
- Suzanne Jusst, KLIX radio personality & singer/songwriter

"hip in a throwback way is
the '60s- and '70s'-styled self-titled album from Lauren Braddock
on the aptly named Love Child Records. While Lauren tackles
subjects like the environment ("Don't Turn Away"),
infidelity ("Lost Dawg") and murder ("Alibi Lounge")
she also uses here bright songwriting in a style between Rickie
Lee Jones and Sheryl Crow to imagine being caught in the love
crossfire between George Harrison and Eric Clapton ("Let
me be Your Layla"). Lauren is the daughter of Nashville
songwriter Bobby Braddock ("D-I-V-O-R-C-E",
"Time Marches On", etc.)…"

"Beautiful daughter of master songwriter Bobby Braddock...(Lauren's)
already landed some cuts, and her new CD holds lots of promise.
